Default STI A-Line WOOOT!

Seems like subaru have decided to take the plunge and offer customers auto STI. Still no CVT though!

LOL.. I only really like the scoop on the new subies, but still not enough to wanna buy one..
It must be just a "How can we make more sales". So all the auto and lazy drivers can drive an sti to brag about, but not really be 'driving' one, just steering.

I wonder if they are thinking they are losing sales to the Evo X because you can drive around in lazy mode in the SST version?

Is it an actual auto box with paddles attached or a proper flappy paddle system like the SST/DSG?

Pretty sure you can have a valve inside them adjusted for harder faster shifts.

From what i recall heaps of people were removing TGV's to get a less restricting airflow, hence TGV deletes. Why re-instate them? :/

And for the love of god why doesnt Aus ever get twin scroll shit!?
